Vice President JD Vance built upon his employer’s opposition to places in the European Union that have been engaged in back-and-forth tax risks with President Donald Trump.
Trump has doled out levies to Canada, Mexico, and China during his second management and has threatened to implement levies against the EU as well, mainly in retribution for EU actions to house tariffs on the United States.
Vance, during a Fox News meeting released on Thursday, said the U. S. did “fight up financially” if” Germans do something to us”.
” The leader made this point, truly, in the visit with the prime minister of Ireland tuesday, that the European Union has in some way been the worst on American workers and British companies of anybody”, he said on The Ingraham Angle.

” They’re imposing crazy taxes. They say that they’re our most important ally, and of course, we care about Western protection, but they don’t treat us like an alliance when it comes to finance. They actually hammer American consumers and American workers, ]and ] in the process, the president”, Vance added. ” You know, the thing that supports all this, Laura, is, of course, a defence of the American worker but a reputation that we’re not going to get discrimination again. If Europeans do something to us, we’re really going to fight back financially”.
On Wednesday, the U. S.’s plan to increase , steel , and aluminum tariffs from 10 % to 25 % went into effect, and the EU responded by saying it would allow 50 % tariffs on American whiskey, which were suspended, to take effect on April 1.
Trump then responded again, saying he would adopt a” 200 percent price” on European wine, champagne, and other beer if the taxes weren’t removed “immediately”.
” This will be great for the wine and champagne businesses in the U. S.”, he added on Truth Social.
Trump called the EU “one of the most angry and abusive hard and tariffing officials in the world”. He’s even sparred with Canada and Mexico over taxes. He placed a 25 % tariff on imports from both countries before pausing, reinstating, and mostly pausing them again in return for immigration concessions.
When asked by Laura Ingraham about reaction on the taxes, Vance blamed original President Joe Biden for leaving the market” a devastation”.

” There is, as the leader has said, a acknowledgment that we have to take, which is that, appearance, Joe Biden left this business in a crisis”, Vance said hours after the business plummeted Thursday following more tax information.
” The president has come in and said, look, we have to accomplish a lot of things simultaneously. We have to bring down inflation, which I think we’re making some good progress on. We have to actually ensure critical government services like Social Security and the military function for the American people. And we also have to force businesses to invest more, not overseas, not in Chinese workers, but in American workers. And I think we’ll deal with all of those things”, he said.
” Rome wasn’t built in a day”, he concluded.
